Electromagnetic radiation

1 Introduction Interferometry is a measurement technique which utilizes the interference of waves in a medium to cre-ate interference patterns [5]. In general, the waves can be light, sound or radio waves. The interference pattern is detected by a photodetector and it provides some useful information about the properties of the object or phenomenon under test. Interferometers are used to make very small measurements that cannot be achieved with any other method. An important…

4.0 Results and Discussion Before the strontium quantification of the solutions resulted from the ion exchange experiments, it was necessary to investigate what is the range where strontium absorbs radiation linearly and what is the detection limit. The graphs below show the absorbance (atomic absorption) in function of the strontium concentration and it can clearly be seen in figure 2 that at concentrations above 10 ppm the samples start to present non-linear absorption. Therefore, all the…

Radiation is defined as emission of energy in the form of x rays and gamma rays. It is transmitted from one place to another. Ionizing radiation is high energy waves that pass the body's tissue, that produces positive and negative charged particles. These high energy waves remove electrons from atoms and cause an interaction between the x rays and the patient. This process is referred to as ionizing radiation. The amount of energy acquired from ionizing radiation is absorbed into the patients…

heart, and reduces the radiation dose to the patient (Campeau and Fleitz, 2010). A focused grid is inserted into the moving grid mechanism of the wall stand and the automatic exposure chambers (AEC). The moving secondary grid absorbs maximum scattered radiation which negatively affects the radiograph quality but transmit the primary radiation to maximise the image quality (Willis-Owen et al., 2010). The left and right AEC are selected automatically to monitor the level of radiation transmitted…

regarding the various bond types, the presence of different functional groups and interaction among them. FTIR spectroscopy provides opportunities to identify the unknown materials. In infrared spectroscopy the infrared radiations are passed through a sample. A portion of the radiation is absorbed by the sample and the remaining is passed through it. The resultant spectrum represents the molecular absorption and transmissions, creating a molecular finger print of the sample (Shurvell 2002). …

SEM is a kind of microscope to observe the topography of materials. SEM has some advantages: it has a large depth of field and we can observe the 3D image of the sample and analyzing its topography, its magnification range is widely and we could make sample easily because of the X-ray spectrometry, which can determine the elements of sample. When electron beam attack the sample, incident electron will be diffracted and change the direction or even loose some energy. During this process,…

Tzvat is a city in the Northern District of Israel. Located at an elevation of 2,953 feet, Tzvat is the highest city in the Galilee and in Israel. Due to its high elevation, Tzvat experiences warm summers and snowy winters.Tzvat is a famous vacation spot for its mild climate and scenic views. Tzvat’s current mayor is Ilan Shohat. In 2016, it had an estimated population of 33,636 residence. Tzvat is known as one of the four holy cities along with Jerusalem, Chevron, and Tiveria. It is mentioned…

(Radiological Dispersion Device, n.d.). Also, because of that, there is not one standard specific model for Radiological Dispersal Devices; each device has their own unique characteristics. Radiological Dispersal Devices do not “…release enough radiation to kill people or cause severe illness…” but “…[the] explosive itself [is] more harmful…[and all it] create[s is] fear and panic, contaminate property, and require potentially costly cleanup…” (Fact Sheet on Dirty Bombs , 2012). This is why…

increasingly dependent on electricity. The fragility of electronics and increasing threats worldwide has led to the subject of this paper. How vulnerable is America to Electromagnetic pulse (EMP) attack? What would most likely happen in such an event? What steps can be taken to prepare for an EMP attack? Research shows that Electromagnetic propagation is the silent threat that is not be focused on. The current power grid of the United States is unequipped to handle a large scale EMP attack. This…
